The film Premam has been in the eye of the storm for a few reasons, the recent being a few students from colleges taking it overboard during onam celebrations. While a section of them took sides with the naysayers, quite a few got miffed up. Actor
Murali Gopy vented out his opinion in a sarcastic tone on a social networking platform by saying, “Yes. Cinema is responsible for all that's happening around us.
All those who watched Richard Attenborough's '
Gandhi', became blue-blooded Gandhians. All those who watched '
The Passion of the Christ' became staunch Christians. All those who watched Coppola's '
Godfather' became dreaded gangsters. And all those who watched '
Premam' came to be known as "misled youth'.
He added, “Let's ban cinema and start a devotional choir and see... how the world transforms back into a safe place without World Wars, dictators, blood shed, rape, arson, looting... and without youngsters who happen to fall in love with their teachers.”
